From 1970s to 2000s there was trend of stage shows and concerts with lot of Bollywood stars, singers together.
Despite award shows being there, world tours and concerts or televised stage shows with Bollywood stars were very common earlier.
Even rival stars like Khans, Bachchans, Deols, Rajinikanth, Sridevi, Juhi, Divya, Madhuri, Rani, Preity, Ash, Raveena, Karishma, Hrithik, Bebo, Akki etc have performed together on stage in such international concerts and shows.
I recall how multi starrer stage shows were commonly shown on TV on New Year's eve, Independence Day and Diwali every year.
There were lot of special stage shows with Bollywood stars in 50th year of independence of India in 1997 and to commemorate new millennium in 2000.
Sometimes stars like Bachchans, Madhuri, SRK, Govinda used to have whole special concerts where they would perform iconic songs from their hit films.
I also remember Dream girls concert with Aishwarya, Sonali, Mahima and other leading actresses of that time in 2001 and it was aired on Sony TV.
There were musical multi starrer concerts with Lata, Asha, Alka, Sonu, Udit, Kumar Sanu etc all performing on same stage.
What happened after 2010? Why such concerts stopped both in real life and on TV?
Bachchans' Unforgettable tour and SRK's Temptations tour are the last major concerts I remember being aired on TV.
I think Salman also had a special stage show after Dabangg.
But the special stage shows are becoming more uncommon and rare now.
Why is it so? Do stars only perform at award shows at end of the year now? Have they stopped doing all those concerts, cultural programmes and I Day, Diwali, New Year special programmes or their own world tours?
What happened to all those entertainment companies that used to organise such shows? Why did trend of stage shows and world tours fade out?
